Rimmel London Lycra Lash Extender Mascara Reviews

I didn't like this mascara at all. I have pretty good lashes, but this product made them look pretty bad. It does add a bit of length, but it feels like it actually diminishes the volume. Also it flakes and the pigmentation isn't intense at all. The blackest black looked grayish.

This mascara didn't do anything to my lashes. It's too clean looking, so it's only good if you wanted to separate out lashes or darken them. It does seem to lengthen just a little, but that may be because the lashes are separated out well without clumping. Rimmel has so many other mascaras that are great, don't get this one if you want volume and dramatic lashes.

I LOVE this mascara! I have sensitive eyes so I have to change out my mascara every 1-2 months and this is great since it's not a $15+ dollar tube. Plus it enhances my lashes, curls and gives them volume. I also love the fact you can purchase this almost anywhere!

I have long and thin lashes, and about half what I had in my twenties (my lashes used to be my best feature)
Pros:
-Smell is fine
-Brush is very nice: I prefer these 'old school' bristles to the ones that look like plastic, which hurt my eyes when I use it close to the lash base. Plus this one has a lot of bristles: I find that in this case, less product is applied at once, which I prefer.
-Very ...read morenatural look
-Good separation (for all mascaras, I wipe the brush on a tissue first and only one coat)
-The wand is not too long
-The brush is not too long for my small eyes
-The smell is nice and subtle
-The cap is cute and helps gripping the wand
Cons:
-It's so natural looking that behind glasses, it almost doesn't show up. I'd recommend this for week-end, errands, work if you prefer a quiet look.
-Poor volume, even if I use zig-zag moves during application. When I simply brushed my lashes, I couldn't see any difference at all. Please note that I only use one coat. It might be buildable, I'll try and report later.
Summary: Very nice natural-looking mascara, especially for the price. For an evening or falsies look, you'll have to use another mascara or use a volumizer mascara on top of this one.— 11 months, 1 week ago

I have tried every other mascara on the market, including high end and cheap. I always end up coming back to this one because something about it just does wonders to my eyelashes. I have a lot of lashes, but they are light blonde and short, and this mascara really lengthens them and fans them outward. I use ELF clear mascara as like a base/primer and it makes it even better. I can't get enough of ...read morethis mascara and got my 14 year old cousin hooked on it too when she was 12 and mascara and lip gloss were the only make-up she was allowed to wear so i bought her a tube of this and some lip gloss and she is addicted as well! This mascara is amazing on its own, I just like a primer to keep my lashes conditioned and it keeps the mascara more soft feeling and looking, not as crunchy or stiff to the touch.— 2 years, 2 months ago

First coat made my lashes very long. Second coat made mine so long that it looked unrealistic. It was the most lengthening mascara that I have ever purchased. Two coats would be good for taking pictures so that your lashes would show up. It does what it has promised to do. Unfortunately, I have not seen this product in pharmacies recently, so I would stock up.

I have been using this particular mascara for a number of years and have found very few to rival this baby! It goes on super smooth, doesn't clump and keeps my lashes looking lush. It adds volume and doesn't make the lashes stick together like so many other brands do.
I hope Rimmel will continue to make this mascara and never discontinue it or it will be a sad, sad day!
